5 I pity Moab!Its people are running to Zoarand to Eglath-Shelishiyah.They cry on their way upto the town of Luhith;on the road to Horonaimthey tell of disasters.
6 The streams of Nimrimand the grasslandshave dried up.Every plant is parched.
7 The people of Moab are leaving,crossing over Willow Brook,taking everything they ownand have worked for.
8 In the towns of Eglaimand of Beerelimand everywhere else in Moabmournful cries are heard.
9 The streams near Dimonare flowing with blood.But the Lord will bringeven worse trouble to Dimon,because all in Moab who escapewill be attacked by lions.
